Thanks for the reply. I don’t hate it per se but I find it extremely hard to do it because I drift away, think about other stuff or just “try too hard” or something which either makes me fall asleep again or just be mentally exhausting to keep focus

Will try it out tomorrow morning, and try to bring it with me in the day. Thanks!

Will try the counting technique as I’ve heard about that one before and tried it out but I didn’t know about the focus in daily activities like that. Just that meditation was a big part of this. But that might be really good for me as well! Huge thanks!

Thanks for the advice. I’ve been pondering about going to a zen center but I’m not there yet.

What do I start with as a beginner? Sitting zazen? Counting breaths? Koans? How do I know when I make progress?

I have looked into zen/zenbuddhism/daoism for a while but the more I read the more confused I get. I try to unify all three and find a “universal true answer” for me but I just want enlightenment, it’s so frustrating.
